“Sant was very attentive and caring with my dog. He made sure my dog’s needs were met, especially his medications. He had good communication with me while my dog was boarded.”
“Eun took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I knew he had a good time because there were no complaints on the car ride home. He just came back very calm ☺️ Eun also sent me pictures and updates during his stay, so nice because we really miss him when we’re away. Highly recommend Eun!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Excellent! Our senior dog and puppy both loved their stay. We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away. I felt in the loop the whole time. He answered my question quickly. Helpful reminders and easy drop off and pick up.”
“Our pooch Pepper had a very nice initial visit with Aiko and Dennis. She came home happy and relaxed, which is always a good sign. We have already booked our next boarding. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!”
“Kobe had a GREAT time staying with Peter over Memorial Day Weekend. We did not have to stress at all while we were away. Peter was flexible with pick up and drop off times and was responsive with checking in and updates for Kobe. He also took him on at least one long hike during his stay. We would highly recommend Peter for your dog. We will definitely be using him again in the future!!! ”
“Santiago was very accommodating and made my dogs feel right at home! Kept their schedule consistent and lives near a nice walking path. One thing that really made him stand out is that your dog(s) are the only ones he and his family watch. Where I’ve been to some sitters and they have like 4-5 different dogs there being watched so they can make more money. So with him only watching ours I know they were looked after and it was great to get pics of the pups while traveling. 10/10 would reccomend!”

“Great boarding experience, really easy to communicate and build trust. From the beginning I had the feeling that they knew how to take care of a dog and I wasn’t wrong about it. Lola was happy to stay with them, which for me is the most important thing. I would definitely trust them again to take care of Lola.”
“I love the photos Ulunma sends me when I’m on a trip, they help when I’m missing my dog. My dog always looks like she’s having a great time and comes home tired every time, giving me a chance to get organized after time away.”
About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I pride myself on being attentive, dependable, and communicative, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands! I work from home Mondays and Fridays, making me the perfect sitter for long weekends or a little getaway! My flexible schedule allows me to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and quality time throughout their stay. Your pup’s happiness and safety are my top priorities! Expect lots of walks, outdoor adventures, hikes, and trips to the dog park (with your permission, of course!). I’ll always respect your pup’s routine, comfort level, and individual needs while treating them like my own!
“Sabrina is the absolute best! We have a very fearful dog who was abused before we adopted her. Sabrina look her time to get to know our dog Joy, and to let Joy warm up to her. Sabrina sends lots of pictures and updates while we are away, which we love! She is the only dog sitter we feel comfortable leaving Joy with!!”
“Patrick is a pro. He was consistently communicative, flexible, and above all caring for our dear dog. We are very happy to have met him and hope to work with him again for future dogsitting needs!”
“Excellent dog sitter, our husky had a friend to play with for a few days and our dog looked completely at ease and relaxed with Daniela, laying on her back with tummy exposed and smiling. (Yes, dogs can smile when happy and content). Daniela was very flexible and helped out with a last minute reservation and we could not have asked for more. We will definitely use her services in the future.”
About: Looking to connect with owners of sweet, gentle dogs! We have two small dogs who are very playful but not pushy, and we'd love to find compatible dog friends. I'm hoping to build a trusted circle where we can help each other with dog sitting when traveling. I can host up to two dogs at a time. Message me if you're interested! 🐾 Self-employed at home. I walk my dogs 2 times during the day and 1 more time before bed. A few times a week, I bring them to Civic Park to socialize with other dogs before dinner. Once a week, I drive them to a nearby nature reserve for a hike. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Same if not more care will be given to your doggies. There are two fenced dog parks in my building that are treated daily with enzymatic chemicals. If your dog has sensitive skin, I will not bring them there to potty.
“So happy with our decision to go with Tammy! Tammy was very welcoming and good with Maggi. She sent pictures regularly and Maggi looked happy. Would not hesitate to have Maggi stay with Tammy again! We even got pomegranates from her tree as we left!!”
“Our Siberian husky, Ziva, is a rescue and lived a harsh life in a kennel her first year, so we try to avoid boarding her, but she also struggles with other dogs. We were so relieved to find Nicole for our long trip. She focuses on one pet at a time, so we knew Ziva would feel safe and get the attention she loves. Nicole was prompt and helpful in coordinating our meetup times and was so welcoming to Ziva. We all feel like Ziva got her own vacation while staying with Nicole and her husband. So grateful! Will be booking Nicole again!”

Dear Sant, We want to sincerely thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog. We were extremely happy and pleased with the attention, kindness, and care you provided. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands while we were away. You provided frequent photos and videos of dog through the course of his stay. This made us feel comfortable that he was doing well. We truly appreciate your dedication and the love you showed our furry family member. We would absolutely have you dog-sit again and would not hesitate to recommend your services to others. Thank you again for being so dependable and caring. We look forward to having you watch our dog again! Warm regards, Thank you!
Nicole took fantastic care of our small dog, Clio, during a four-week stay in fall 2026. She sent frequent photos of Clio (which we really appreciated) and was already easy to communicate with. Most important, Clio was happy and healthy when we picked her up. Thanks again, Nicole, for taking such great care or our pup!
Amazing Rover experience. Manash and his family were wonderful to our elderly pittie. I super appreciate Manash's very reasonable rates and quality care. They were responsive and easy to communicate with to coordinate drop off and pick up. They were able to accommodate Pebbles' sleep, eat, and frequent potty schedule, allowing her ample freedom to explore their enclosed backyard space. They even made sure that Pebbles had a blanky while she slept, so thoughtful! While we were away, we received multiple photos a day - we loved seeing our pup comfortable and happy. Our family vacation was even better knowing our dog was staying with an attentive and caring family - this is what Rover is all about!
Joseph and Marikris were absolutely wonderful! They took great care of our dog Lucy and were incredibly accommodating with our last-minute changes. Their flexibility, kindness, and communication made the entire experience stress-free. We felt confident that Lucy was in great hands. Highly recommend them and we already have our next boarding booked.
Yena is amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and regularly sent updates including pictures and videos about my puppy Camila, who boarded here for the first time. I appreciated having the meet and greet so Camila could interact with all the other dogs there before staying overnight. All the dogs were friendly and respectful. Camila was able to play in the yard and inside the home. Yena was kind to keep the same food routine at home, which I found very helpful. It was great to have my puppy in a safe and fun environment while I was away for a trip. I think Camila had so much fun that I will have to bring her over for daycare in the near future! Thank you Yena!
Another trip, another amazing experience with Stefanie. Not everyone is up for the task of caring for a special needs dog, but Stefanie is knowledgeable, compassionate, and PATIENT. I have tremendous peace of mind while I’m traveling. Thanks again. Stefanie, for caring for my sweet, old girl!
Really appreciate the flexibility and care provided for my dog Kayla by Sophia and her husband Jonathan. Had some possible last-minute Vet issues and they were willing to still care for her. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and they kept me informed of Kayla‘s visit and sent photos. They also sent me photos when I asked as I was missing her. Kayla enjoyed her walks and really appreciated that she could sit anywhere on the couch and on their bed. Definitely will use them again if needed. Thanks to you both!
Christy took excellent care of my senior dachshund, Leia, while I was on a long weekend trip! It’s always nerve-wracking to leave your dog with a new person for the first time, but Christy went above and beyond to provide constant care for my girl and ensure that she (and I) were comfortable with her staying there. She provided peace of mind for me knowing that Leia was well taken care of while I was on my trip. She sent me photos and updates often so I knew how Leia was doing. I can’t recommend her enough! We’ll definitely be back again sometime soon for future trips.
Our dog Stirling had a great time with Jess & her dog Peach! They went on walks, went to the coffee shop and played at the dog park. Jess was so caring and always communicated any questions she had and she gave updates with cute photos. We were so happy to find Jess on Rover! We will be hiring her again soon!
Serafina was amazing with our anxious girl!! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and I had no idea how our dog would do, but Serafina put both her and I at ease. She sent updates and photos throughout our trip and our girl seemed right at home with her and her fiancé. She has such a calm, gentle demeanor and a lovely home and yard. Our pup came home clearly very happy and well cared for. I would definitely have Serafina watch our girl again in the future!
Jill and her family gave Cooper great care and their dog Buddy was the perfect best friend for Cooper during his time with them. They took care of him for over a week and we did not have to worry one bit because we knew he was being well taken care of. We would definitely bring Cooper back here for future vacations.
A great indicator of how it went at the sitters is how much my dogs sleep when they get home...they have slept non-stop for 2 days. :-))) Catherine is great. She was very responsive and accommodating. She had great communication before during and after. I look forward to using her again.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Contra Costa Centre can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Contra Costa Centre home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Contra Costa Centre.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Contra Costa Centre. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Contra Costa Centre sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
